Say that you know I am your breath, I am the ground. I am your safe and sound.

I’m wrestling like Jacob, out in the frozen fields. He’s got me by my elbows, that’s just how it feels. I’ve been blinded for a long long time, but by benevolent grace I can see. You’ve given me a new name, so who do I wrestle with? I wrestle with me. Bound bound bound again, I find myself in cages. Lost lost and found again humility ballet. Toe to the balance beam, you take me where I’ve never been. Down through the human age, the word remains the same. I’m living in the future, of everyone who went before. I’m searching through the archives, of anyone who sought the door. We’ve been blinded for a long long time, but by benevolent grace we can see. We’re waking to a new way, “Lay down your desires, look within and find me.”

Mandala Cure 03:30
I know so little but I learned it’s everything. I am graffiti blurring past you on the train. If I were to break down into pixels once again, I would become a puddle in the rain. Ooo, with mandala cure be careful. Ooo, wear her circle as your crown. Ooo, though the medicine is painful, In time I’m sure your peace will come around. In the winter time my troubles feel like mountain ranges. Every where I turn I’m surrounded by the changes. If I were to break down into syllables on these pages Healing words might flood from my rib cage. In my life I’ve tried hard, But I’m not here to sing of battle wounds or scars. Everything I’ve learned was on the wheel, It is the way my soul has chosen to be healed.

about

Shortly after I put out Before Dawn a little burst of songs arrived that felt very much like a coda to the album. Part of me wished I had waited to put out Before Dawn, but I also knew that the timing felt right with that. Since then I became pregnant, moved across the country and am now rocking that 1 year old baby to sleep. Tonight, the Full moon in Cancer, it feels good and cathartic to release these songs, as a part 2 to Before Dawn.
